Current Practice in AluminumSheet Forming

*Cold forming-- forming at room temperature
*Warm forming-- forming at elevated temperature (<350ºC)
The formability of aluminum alloys increases with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate.
The blank( and sometimes the dies) should be heated.
More complex tools are required and insulation is necessary if the dies are heated.
Cycle time is longer than cold forming due to heating process.
Lubricants that perform well at elevated temperatures should be used.
Springback is reduced.
